check out one of the online gun auction sites like gunbroker dot com.  plug in your pistol in the search box and you should get an idea of the current value.

Blue Book is the generally accepted standard for pricing of guns. I know most dealers around here refer to it before making a trade on used guns. It makes no distinction between no dash and those with dash numbers. They really aren't old enough for that to have any added value yet.

In 98% condition they show $485

In 95% condition they show $360

In 90% condition they show $275

Condition is everything as you can see by the prices. To be 98% in my opinion it would have to have been fired darn little and look to have been fired little. It shouldn't have any noticeable defects such as scratches or dents or nicks. I'd expect it to have the box and papers as well. Seldom do I rate a used gun at 98%.

I've seen dealers put them out on the shelf from around $325 to $450. I've seen those in the higher end of that range sit for very long times without a taker. The last one I bought from a dealer was what I'd call 90% prolly. I think I paid a little over $300 maybe as much as $350 but it was precisely what I was looking for a 6" with patridge front sight not the silly red ramp so I paid what I considered a premium price to get what I wanted. I some times do that if I want a very specific gun badly and finally run across it. Heck I paid $450 for a S&W 66 6" once. I had been looking for another for years and finally ran across it at a gun show and the guy just wouldn't come down. I knew when I saw it that it was coming home with me.
